To be fair to the game both captains ensured that everyone was involved on the day and some brilliant performances were recorded on both sides. Skipper Gilkes lost the toss but was inserted by Spreadborough so The Gents would have batted no matter what. Against some accurate bowling from Rees and Spreadborough The Gents managed to get to 26 without loss before Bollywood edged one behind. There was a loud noise although 10 seconds later with a very loud plane going over, he wouldn't have been given out. After doing all the hard work then the skipper got out to a mistimed cut. Nilesh then picked out a fielder and had a game of tip and run. Strangely enough he was out by a mile and The Gents had gone from a point of happiness to despair. </p> <p>Sanjay then followed, bowled by a very slow spinner from Staple and when Ken went quickly after that, The Gents had lost 5 wickets for 17 runs. The oppo captain then changed his bowling just in time and Horace and Scibo put together a stand of 62 much-needed runs in no time at all . Horace perished the ball after the drinks break but he had scored a very quick 40 with five huge sixes, one causing The Gents' pants to go after it hit the wall in the pavilion. Hemin then strode in with instructions to take his time and play himself in as we still had 15 overs left. He was back one ball later after playing one of the worst shots seen in Gents' history, looping the ball in the air to square-leg. </p> <p>Wayne, happily promoted to No.9, then came in and played like a man obsessed. He struck 12 fours in his 53 which was greeted with real enthusiasm by his team mates. Scibo, playing his best innings for a while, sensibly batted through the stand. Snellers and Mr. Comfort (whom Gilkes nicked when he turned up to watch) got the score up to a respectable 191 although 3.2 overs were unused. We would have taken that when we were 43-5. </p> <p>After a good tea Sanjay took two wickets as he and Nilesh put the early pressure on. Only 20 runs came from the first eight overs. Stu kept the pressure on before Dale and Spreadbrough then came in and increased the run rate and runs came easily. At the half way point they were 84-2. Then The Gents hit their straps. Horace was brought into the attack and pinned Ross in front. Scibo then caught a great catch on the boundary off Hemin. Comfort then came on and took two wickets to leave the game in the balance. Snarler back on at the far end bowled in the best rhythm we have seen all year and suddenly The Gents were back in with a chance. Hibbert was still dangerous but running out of partners. Nilesh came back with Taverners requiring 20 off four overs. He took a wicket in his first over dismissing the dangerous Hibbert before bowling Staple to finish off a great performance. Captain Gilkes made sure he shook all his players' hands. This was a great game played in warm weather at an increasingly popular venue. The spirit and banter between the sides was excellent and both teams hung around for a pint or five. Wayne was given the match ball for his batting but you can't fault the team for the effort. A good day out.</p> </h5> </td> <td width="5%" /> </tr> </table> <br /> </td> </tr> <tr> <td width="46" height="18">&nbsp;</td> <td width="751" height="18"> <!-- FOOTER --> <table style="border-collapse: collapse;" id="AutoNumber2" bordercolor="#111111" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" width="100%" border="0"> <tbody> <tr> <td width="100%"> <table style="border-collapse: collapse;" id="AutoNumber4" bordercolor="#111111" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="3" width="100%" border="0"> <tbody> <tr> <td width="100%"> <hr width="80%" color="#6699cc"> </td> </tr> <tr> <td width="100%"> <p align="center"> <span> <font face="Verdana" size="2"><a href="#top">Back to top</a></font> </span> </p> </td> </tr> </tbody> </table> </td> </tr> <tr> <td width="100%"> <table style="border-collapse: collapse;" id="AutoNumber3" bordercolor="#111111" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="5" width="100%" border="0"> <tbody> <tr> <td align="center" width="20%"><font face="Verdana" size="2"><a href="../Home.htm"><span>Home</span></a></font></td> <td align="center" width="20%"><font face="Verdana" size="2"><a href="../News.htm"><span>News</span></a></font></td> <td align="center" width="20%"><font face="Verdana" size="2"><a href="../Results.htm"><span>Results</span></a></font></td> <td align="center" width="20%"><font face="Verdana" size="2"><a href="../Archives.htm"><span>Archives</span></a></font></td> <td align="center" width="20%"><font face="Verdana" size="2"><a href="../Forum.htm"><span>Forum</span></a></font></td></tr></tbody></table></td></tr> <tr> <td width="100%"> <p align="center">&nbsp;</p> <p align="center"><font face="Verdana" size="2">©The Gentlemen of West London Cricket Club 2010</font></p> <p align="center">&nbsp;</p> </td> </tr> </tbody> </table> </td> </tr> </tbody> </table> </body> </html>
